Great Book For Everyone
I bought this book along with the AKC junior tire jump (strongly recommend against the tire jump), and I am so glad I did. My boyfriend and I love training my 1 year old terrier mix new tricks! Before getting this book he already knew sit, stay, come, roll over, down, crawl, paw with both hands, sit pretty (we use “pose” as the command), walk on his hind legs, spin around and jump over our extended legs.The pictures in this book that go along with the instructions are very helpful and completely relevant to the steps. Each page has a different trick, all with a name, step by step instructions, the command word you should use, step by step pictures and the part that I was most excited to see was the troubleshooting section! Clearly you are going to run into some problems when teaching some tricks and this book covers the main issues. EX: tidy up the toys: what to do if your dog plays with them instead and what to do if your dog gets confused and starts taking them out of the box. Each trick also has prerequisites listed, which help makes training much easier! At the end of the book all the tricks are labeled by skill level.I got this book about a week ago and my dog is already almost a master at play dead!I originally bought this book in the hopes of getting the rest of my family to train our dog. Now I’d rather just do it all myself. The book is so easy to follow and even the most difficult tricks don’t seem like they’ll be too much trouble with this very helpful guide!I would recommend this book to anyone who is willing to build a good bond with their dog and teach them a lot of amazing and interesting tricks! It really is the perfect dog training book! Any one can train their dog with this book! As long as you practice each trick over and over again, your dog can learn anything with the right attitude! My goal is to some day train my dog to do all the tricks in this book!

Better then most & read explanation
The pictures are in full color. They show the âtrickâ and then break it down to simple steps that even Kids CAN learn with the dogs! I got it for a reference book to show others what my dog can do as we learn the stuff! Depends on the kind of breed as to how fast they learn as well as the age. Be patient as any healthy dog can do these! Not all of the tricks are in ideal order but great starting point!

Surprisingly helpful
I’ve actually been able to teach my dog most of the tricks in this book based on the way they break it down. I was pleasantly surprised! Definitely worth it – should note, teaching the tricks still takes time and patience. It’s not an immediate thing so take your time and be patient with your pup!

Buy three copies… I’ll tell you why…
I suggest buying 3 copies of this book… not 1…First, because its a great coffee table book… hey, Chelcy (the author’s dog) is a Weimeraner – – and both are very photogenic – – on top of it, the graphic design and lay-out of the book are not only sensitive and informative, but very visually appealing… You can feel the excitement and enthuisiasmSecond – – its a fantastic reference book… and the idea of thinking “tricks” instead of cut and dry obedience I think is great for both the trainer and the dog. Though most of the tricks do have elements of obedience to them, they are presented in a way that makes training your dog more fun and lightharded and you’re not thinking, “good dog”/”bad dog”/”leash correction” – – In fact, I like the way the author not only has troubleshooting tips for each tricks, but will even give some ideas how difficult the trick is, what tricks need to be learned first, and how long it takes some dogs to learn. – – Also, all descriptions use simple, practical and effective language… The descriptions match up with the photos and the points are gotten across in a way that communicates the ideas to you and teaches you to teach them to your dog.Finally… buy a third copy because… some dogs *cough* have tendencies to nibble on certain people’s reading material, especially when allowed in the bed. (o.k. that’s an obedience issue.)As for the tricks, they range from basic sit/stay/rollover agility type tricks – – to classics like “bring me a beer”/”bring the newspaper” as well as a few parlor tricks/routines. The book also explains standard hand signals as well as commands.Incidentally – – there I would like a refund for 2 of the tricks. One involves the human doing a handstand, the other a cartwheel… Trust me, if you’re the “bring me my beer” trick type, you won’t be doing those two…All in all, this is one book that lives up to its own hype! Highly recommended!

This book is fantastic, possibly the best dog training book we have ever set eyes upon. We were recommended to purchase this by a very experienced dog trainer and he said he has used it with all 8 of his dogs in the past and never failed.At just 4 months old, our Cockapoo puppy could sit, lay down, paw, spin, hi5 and stay all thanks to this book and is still progressing with playing dead, finding things, bringing things, dropping things, rolling over and still flourishing at 10 months, he shocks people with how many tricks he can do and they all think it’s due to expensive training sessions, but it was this amazing book!The instructions are very clear, the introduction is also very reassuring, especially if this is for a new puppy or dog. There are top tips on every trick and also alternatives if this method isn’t working for you, there are many reassuring encouragements throughout it and all 101 tricks are marked out of 5 paws of difficulty which progress through the book.Many nice and colourful pictures are included throughout, the pages feel good quality and it is definitely worth the money.I would certainly recommend this to a friend!
